Study of Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway aims to build ‘a more resilient and equitable borough’
From Brooklyneagle.com
Brooklyn Greenway Initiative on Monday announced the launch of a comprehensive user study of the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway that will measure the mobility, environmental, economic, health, and social impacts of the route.
The study will use a computer vision sensor and data platform to document for the first time how many people use the protected pedestrian and cycling route. Field research will clarify who is using the Greenway and will compare recreational use to commuter use. The study will also collect information about frequency of use, illuminating the Greenway’s role within Brooklyn and New York City’s larger mobility system.
